Foreign Visa cards block by apple

Hello, I moved 6 months ago in Belgium. But I am still using my French Visa card.
I bought an iPad on the Belgian on-line apple store. No issue.
Since then, Apple asked me to update my profil when I try to download even a free app.
What's happen?

The country of the store will not change until/unless you change the payment and billing address information to the appropriate country you wish to shop in - see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
You can keep your french card and use it when you wish, you will simply have to change your account information each time you wish to change stores.  However, you cannot use a foreign method of payment in any Apple store - payment and billing information must be from the country you wish to shop in.
If you are in Belgium and still logged in to the France store, and you are being denied, that sounds like some method of IP filtering is in effect (in other words, based on your devices IP address, the France Store knows you are not in France, and so is blocking you).

  • Why US app store cannot accept to pay in foreign visa card?

    Hello.
    I'm Korean but living in japan now.
    so maybe my english is not perfect. Sorry.
    My question is,
    Why US app store does not accept to pay in foreign visa card?
    US app store is the biggest app store and sometimes i want to buy one. But i can't.
    Because the US app sotre only accept US credit card. I actually use my korean credit card in japanese app store, why US app store doent accept it?
    (*In addition,
    Why to make account, i should write address. I can't understand. I think what  apple need is credit card infomation, not where i'm living.
    Because of that, It is troublesoem when i buy japanese gift card to my brother who lives in korea. I cannot understand why gift card cannot be gift.
    Anyway, if the usage of foreign visa card cannot be allowed,
    my next question is that how about app store does sell gift card in other coutry's apple store??
    As i mentioned, US app store is most biggest store. Many people who dont live US, even want to use US app.
    How about selling the gift card on each country's apple store?
    For example, korean apple store sells US gift card and korean gift card both. Korean who want to use US app store, can buy gift card in  korean credit card. It's same as selling ipad!
    Actually, i heard some people who lives in US, sell US gift card to those who want to use US app store.
    If so, i really hope apple sell gift card through apple store officially.
    Thank you.

    Because purchases via the App Store are quite independent of purchases from other media or means. So, if you want to re-install an app that was installed via Disk, then use the Disk. There is no way such apps can be reinstalled or updated via the App Store.
    Why? You'll need to ask Apple.
    Regards

  • I am not able to attach my visa card to my apple account

    every time when i try to attach my visa card  they say "your payment method was declined . please enter onther payment method"

    In addition to what others have offered, note that it's an age old conundrum that we find ourselves typing the digit 1 instead of the upper case letter I or lower case L and the letter O for the digit 0. So you might carefully scrutinize what you were given as opposed to what you were typing.

  • HT1918 I want to I can't put my Visa card in my Apple ID , I'm from Saudi Arabia and I'm using American Apple ID

    And I have in my Apple ID 0.70 $  I should clear it before I change the Apple ID country

    If you are in Saudi Arabia then you can only use the Saudi store. You can try contacting iTunes Support and ask if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change your account to the Saudi store and therefore be able to use your Saudi credit card : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Are only *some* Visa cards accepted in Apple Pay?

    We've been using our Visa for a number of years to make purchases through iTunes, iBooks, the App Store, mail-order devices, and on, and on. No problem. Yesterday I tried to set up Apple Pay with that Visa and was refused. are some types of Visa accounts not qualified?

    Hi ..
    You can use the same card you use for iTunes etc. if it's listed here >  Apple Pay participating issuers
    Set up and use Apple Pay

  • HT3702 Cannot connect to iTunes Store to purchase products using my Visa card. Pease help

    Im trying to re add my Visa card to my apple I'd but it now can't be authorised and ive used it many times before?

    How long ago did you contact iTunes Support ? If it's been longer than 48 hours, and you've checked the spam folder on your email account as well as the inbox, then contact them again : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption.
    The $1 'charges' are likely to be temporary store holding charges, they should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

  • Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

  • HT203983 my apple id does not accept my payment method. why? i am using that same visa card the last 5 years!

    my apple id does not accept my payment method. why? i am using that same visa card the last 5 years!

    there may be several reasons why your credit card may be declined by the iTunes store ,
    the reason the iTunes store require c.card when you setup your apple id is for verification purposes
    if you have called the iTunes store in the past about unrecognised charges, or unauthorised activity ,
    then your bank may have blocked your card from being used on the iTunes store, i would recommend contacting your banking institute

  • Downloading apps it asks for apple ID Pass then it says "verification required". Then says Security Code required. Doesn't accept code. itunes doesn't accept code from visa card either?Please Help

    Downloading apps it asks for apple ID Pass then it says "verification required". Then says Security Code required. Doesn't accept code. itunes doesn't accept code from visa card either?Please Help

    If it is trying to verify your payment info, I would be willing to guess that it is looking for the security code for your credit card. Did you credit card just get replaced lately or the expiration date change? When is the last time that you updated your payment information in iTunes?

  • HT5622 how can I skip the visa check or billing information step to use my apple ID, because I don't have a visa card?

    Dear All,
    I just bought the new Ipad mini, and I have a problem when I'm signing in on my apple id I just made,
    1) when I sign in it logs in but a pop window appear with this message: this apple id not yet used on apple store, then it give me 2 options cancel or review,
    I click on review it take me to a page for the agreement and conditions, I agree with it, it takes me to another page with the name of billing information which contins visa card or payment method verification that I can't skip because I don't have a visa card.
    could anyone tell me what to do?

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
